This document is the transcription of an oral history interview by Professor Emory Johnson of the South Dakota State University of Kenneth R. Surry, bridge engineer with the state of South Dakota from 1920-1963. Discussion centers around the building of highway bridges across the Missouri River, with special focus of the lawsuit of the state agains

In 1974 the Research Council initiated a statewide survey of metal truss bridges to identify any with historic significance. This pioneering effort was financed with state research funds as it was intended to aid the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation in meeting its obligations mandated by various requirements of the environmental r

The average illumination levels and uniformity of the lighting were determined on the two sections of roadway when all of the lighting was in operation and when the lighting was partially turned off. The illumination on both sections was found to be within the recommended quality and quantity standards when all of the luminaires were in operation.

Studied by a team of experts in the fields of history, bridge engineering, architecture, and computer analysis were 21 old truss bridges of historical importance located in Virginia. These old bridges are narrow and have low load-carrying capacities, making them targets for replacement and destruction. On a case-by-case basis, the bridges were inve

Presented is a summary of jointless bridge designs as twelve states; namely, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Most of these states use some form of integral abutments for their steel or concrete structures. Bridges of lengths up to about 600 ft. (180 m) co

Advances in pavement design technology in recent years have led to more dependence on mechanistic approaches and less reliance on subjective design criteria. In Virginia, the tendency is toward a pavement design and evaluation methodology based on elastic design theories. Underlying this design approach is a need to determine the elastic properties

This memorandum examines the data collected during the Research Council's 1976 study of the transportation of 12- and 14-foot wide manufactured housing units to determine whether the data were adequate for analyzing the effects of wide load speeds on other traffic and, if possible, to determine what these effects were. The major conclusion from the

This report describes a method for estimating the probability that a highway facility will violate the eight hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide (CO). The method is predicated on the assumption that overlapping eight-hour time periods which each yield average CO levels in excess of the NAAQS specified maximum leve
